Northern Marine 57 Test Video 2022 by BoatTEST.com 

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I found a Craigslist Ad for a 6.9 acre lot in North Vancouver in Indian Arm to the left of the Island. It's my dream to have this boat and that lot. 🙌😎

It's an electric PTO ?

If you buy a steel hull boat ask for eoncoat primer. Antimicrobial and fire resistant plus no rust for 30 years

Natural Gas bottles? you mean Propane (LPG)

@@paulvanvliet1289 I know that propane bottles exist, but I don't know if that's the same a natural gas. But you're probably right. I think I have seen "Irish natural gas" bottles in the yard years ago. Presumably propane or I misremembered what I read. I don't really know. Sorry.

Exactly. This video was trying to make this vessel outshine the Nordhaven but knowledgeable people like yourself find the errors/bias in the video.

Actually that could mean just a 15-30 min or less run on the wing every week so is liable to be damp and not fully warmed through when you shut it down. Far better to use the generator for the get you home.

@@simonmackie3481 Actually no. As an engineer, I can assure you the thought process during the design phase thoughtfully considered the amount of engine runtime the wing engine was in operation. Nordhavn is a vessel designed Solely for ventures abroad in environments considered Hostile where pleasure or traditionally designed motor yachts would never entertain. As such, Everything is designed with security /redundancy as their hallmark. The wing engine is a Wholly separate means of propulsion that share No systems with the primary engine (fuel/electronics/prop-shaft or prop) such that any aforementioned components when fouled Would leave the “other” vessels stranded. As to your comment about the generator being a preferred recovery option. Imagine having to rely on a Generator and its ancillary systems (e.g. switchgear) with approximately 41 HP driving a hydraulically coupled shaft as your sole means of safety. Immediately there are several points of failure that could render you immobile. The other option is a 110HP engine and systems dedicated Solely to propulsion. The latter is “my” preference.

Having said that, I'm a bit disappointed with the sloppiness of the paint on the foredeck around the foot controls and the rough underside of the anchor locker hatch area.

You could maybe get an outboard motor mount? Take the engine from dingy and limp.

This model engine has a heat exchanger so only coolant goes through the engine. Seawater is only used to cool the coolant in the exchanger.

That's the theory. To put that to the Literal Test this Vessel should be a long term loaner for Captain Steve and the rest of us to review and comment as that's the only way of knowing especially if serious about competing with Bering and Nordhavn. Great review but no way is this sufficient if you're actually trying to sell this Brand. Still might be starting to see some Tesla influences in the Expedition Yacht segment. An interesting warship view of this matter you can research the US Marine Corps "Makin Island" which as a one off Hybrid Drive Platform later became and is now the "America Class" *LCS?* i think they're known as. Huge fan of single engine diesels.

please watch out features video to see more details inside. We usually split up the videos in two parts.

That's the features video, this is the function video.

It would make for an awesome Live a Board 🥰

it would take two days to go 100 miles. LOL

Who cares? No one in their right mind would be traveling long distance at 3 knots.

A very far range that's for sure.

The capsize issue on launch was caused by a massive miscalculation in the amount of ballast fitted/needed on board...

@@chrisfs150 Very scary considering what could have happened offshore. It's amazing that a company that builds global cruising explorer yachts could have made that kind of mistake. Hopefully, they have gone through their past builds since that happened to verify the correct internal ballasting was added.

please don't forget to watch the feature review of the boat. We usually split our review in two videos -- boattest.com/boats/northern-marine/57-raised-pilothouse-2022

I thought the same thing. Captain Steve kind of put his credibility in question with that one.

That's what I was thinking. Nordhavn

It’s a wanna’ be Nordhavn lacking the finish and detail.

@@callmewheels4806 Have you owned either? I've owned a Northwest 45 built by the same people and I can tell you they build an excellent boat. I love Nordhavns but they are not superior to Northern Marine. Both brands build an excellent passage maker with a slightly different take on how to strike the best balance. The most annoying thing about Nordhavns is their blind cult following. You seem to be in that cult.

@@andrewkhilyuk6841 I HAVE NEVER OWNED A NORDHAVN to answer the question. That said, I have lived in and around boatyards and marinas in San Diego and Newport Beach my Entire Life. I talk to owners, the service, sales and brokerage professionals more than casually. You are correct, both manufacturers create vessels wholly designed with “passage making” in remote locations both with respectable pedigrees. But…the “CULT” as you address me is borne of all above I just cited. Should you choose to further disparage the “CULTIST”, proffer wisdom to the contrary. Find a Nordhavn owner that *REGRETS* the choice, Nordhavn over vessels from Northern Marine.

@@andrewkhilyuk6841 amen.

As an owner of a Northern Marine, I can assure you these are incredibly seaworthy vessels. Not only have many NM's circumnavigated the world, but they're right in their element when taking green water over the bow or half filling the dingy on the boat deck! I wouldn't want to be in any other boat in rough conditions.

wat is nou so lekke Gerhard?

Where’s the video of similar brands righting themselves? The chances that would ever happen at sea are basically zero.

@@barryholiday8998 You should try and search YT for "10 million dollar yacht capsizes while being launched for new owner" - and you can see a Northern Marine roll over on its side at launch. Unrecoverable wreck and written off at launch. Lots of excuses and finger pointing and it wasnt me, look at the other guy etc.... A number of boat builders build self righting power boats, Seahorse Marine, the designs based on the XPM range, the Watson range, and another UK builder just off the top of my head, there are many more, actually build explorer power yachts that if they get knocked down, they have a better than good/almost always, chance to right themselves. The move towards high freeboard, shallow draft and (Lord forbid) depending upon stabilzers (of all things!) to contribute to stability and sea worthiness is a crime in my book. A perfect example is the failed launch of the Northern Marine yacht as i pointed out above, the only good thing is that it fell over in front of the owner at launch and not in the middle of the Pacific.

@@Leosarebetter you listed a couple of builders and I only recognized one and they aren’t known for larger vessels. You failed to name one competitor with NM like Nordhavn, Bering, etc.. I’ll assume that’s because those aren’t self righting either. If you want a self righting vessel get a sailboat.

@@barryholiday8998 Geez Barry get an education, go and teach yourself something instead of rambling off YT figures. Who cares if you only recognised just one builder? your ignorance to deal with. If you knew anything you would have recognised that two of the builders I mentioned have ranges that exceed Nordhavn, Bering and build same lengths. You totally fail to recognise the problem. Must be all your "sea time" LOL.

@@Leosarebetter There is an NTSB report on the cause of the accident. There apparently was a miscalculation on the amount of ballast needed and the amount of ballast onboard that caused the stability issue, caused by project management problems, as well as mistakes made during the stern-first launch.

Main engine in the N64 is 425hp. Wing engine will push it 4-5 knots in normal conditions, less if rough weather.

@@Timinwa My friend's N64 achieved 6 knots with the 160 hp Lugger, like I said, main engine running at about 160 hp pushed the boat 7.5 knots using 25 liters per hour (1200 rpm) , 87 liters ar full throttle (1870 rpm).

nord psycho. at no point did he speak of your god. he made a general statement that is true. you're worse than the bmw or mercedes people.

A lot of Trawler-type long-range boats have one engine. This one has a PTO that runs off of a generator. That's your backup.

Northern Marine's heritage comes from hard working Alaskan commercial fishing vessels. This is built off an Alaska limit seiner proven hull.

We for years have broken up our reviews into two videos when they are bigger boats - 1 is the operational which is this one and then the 2nd is a features review which as all the living details.
